Re: windows can't check for updates



hi there i had same problem for a week and could not get updates for
windows (vista home premium unfortunately!!) and windows defender.
i managed to get it going fine today by luck really......

first of all download the free trial of Tune up Utilities 2009 (google
it) 30 day free trial (its also ad/spy free). once installed on the
screen where it says SOLVE PROBLEMS click there then you get a menu
that says fix computer and display problems press this. another menu
will appear with a scroll bar on its right side, Scroll down and check
(tick) next to last box at bottom it should read WINDOWS UPDATE DOES NOT
WORK SINCE A PREVIOUS RESTART IS REQUIRED

Once you have done that close tune up restart computer and hey presto
all updates should work again as normal.
(let me know if anyone else has success from this diagnosis thnx)
